untamed real parents and universal parents â€” by mrs william s heffernan of 934 east forty-fourth street in a speech she made yesterday at a lunch eon in honor of miss mary e mccowen founder of the mccowen oral school for deaf children - , the luncheon was given in mandel's old ivory room and was attended by many prominent educators and philanthropists the occasion was miss mccowen's sixty second birthday miss mccowen herself spoke after mrs heffernan had given her unique classification of parents mrs hef fernan thus described the three classes of parents : wild and untamed parents i ! must mention several kinds there is the male species of parents which is to be carefully differential ed'from fathers i they are the class who look up from their evening papers long enough to cor rect a child with a word or two and then , resume their reading without any thought of what they are doing they might be described as wild and untamed parents for all they know about a real parent's duty there is the female species not to be confused with mothers which corresponds to the male species this class is forever nagging some one about something pesti ferous would be a good word to use in describing them the third class of parents takes in father and mothers the real parents they are the ones who know the needs of a child who sympathize with children and teachers not only that they co-operate with them they are the parents worth while the universal parent i must mention still another class of parents said mrs heffernan the uni versal parents who have the welfare of all children at heart and not just their own also belong in the class of real and worth while parents they are the ones who look beyond the course of study into the heart of the child into this class come those who admin ister to the children in the soundless noiseless world into this world where the children do not hear the birds sing and enjoy the music of our homes the uni versal parents come as a great

heffernan divides fathers and mothers into three classes mary e mccowen honored luncheon is given for founder of the oral school for deaf children parents were divided into three classes â€” wild and untamed real parents and universal parents â€” by mrs william s heffernan of 934 east forty-fourth street in a speech she made yesterday at a lunch eon in honor of miss mary e mccowen founder of the mccowen oral school for deaf children - , the luncheon was given in mandel's old ivory room and was attended by many prominent educators and philanthropists the occasion was miss mccowen's sixty second birthday miss mccowen herself spoke after mrs heffernan had given her unique classification of parents mrs hef fernan thus described the three classes of parents : wild and untamed parents i ! must mention several kinds there is the male species of parents which is to be carefully differential ed'from fathers i they are the class who look up from their evening papers long enough to cor rect a child with a word or two and then , resume their reading without any thought of what they are doing they might be described as wild and untamed parents for all they know about a real parent's duty there is the female species not to be confused with mothers which corresponds to the male species this class is forever nagging some one about something pesti ferous would be a good word to use in describing them the third class of parents takes in father and mothers the real parents they are the ones who know the needs of a child who sympathize with children and teachers not only that they co-operate with them they are the parents worth while the universal parent i must mention still another class of parents said mrs heffernan the uni versal parents who have the welfare of all children at heart and not just their own also belong in the class of real and worth while parents they are the ones who look beyond the course of study into the heart of the child into this class come those who admin ister to the children in the soundless noiseless world into this world where the children do not hear the birds sing and enjoy the music of our homes the uni versal parents come as a great
